The veteran actor belongs to the Kapu community in the state, which forms one of the major castes that decides the electoral fate in AP.
Actor-politician and Kapu stalwart Chiranjeevi Konidela on Sunday extended support to the NDA in Andhra Pradesh ahead of the state’s simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. In a video statement, he was seen asking people to support NDA candidates CM Ramesh and Panchakarla Ramesh Babu. The move comes amidst the AP Congress’ claims that he was still a part of the grand old party.
